This post makes a great point that I never noticed before! As Kelly had said, I don't think its a huge concern that "private" messages aren't very private...but bugs like this make Digg less of a reliable source. Successful software should aim for NO bugs (but as we all know, technology sometimes makes this difficult and near impossible). Great post...thanks for the info! Wow.

I think the problem was ours for not communicating our intent... Shouting, as the name describes, was supposed to be public communication. We wanted people to be able to manage their own page and how it is displayed, but it's true, by doing so it probably gives a false sense of privacy with shouts. What you really are asking for is a private messaging system, which was never the intent of shouts. It was more like writing on a wall in Facebook, or a public post... We're looking into a private messaging system as a feature. Meanwhile, either we need to be more clear on the privacy levels you're describing, add more privacy, or do something...because it's clearly confusing people. Stay tuned. I understand what you’re asking for.

Thanks for fixing incoming shouts. I suppose it'd be great if we can also hide outgoing shouts if possible. Granted, some users prefer to keep their incoming shouts public and I usually exercise caution when shouting to those who do, but I'd rather not allow everyone to see all my outgoing shouts via this link: http://digg.com/users/tamar/history/shouts Thanks!
